episode_narrativeThe strong and persistent offshore flow coupled with the recent full moon caused blow out tides at the times of low tide in Sussex County during the late afternoon of the 3rd and along tidal sections of the Delaware River and its tributaries as well as upper Delaware Bay from the evening of the 2nd into the evening of the 3rd. ||The lowest low tides occurred with the afternoon and evening low tide on the 3rd. That low tide in Lewes (Sussex County) was 2.37 feet below mean lower low water, at Reedy Island (New Castle County) was 3.05 feet below mean lower low water and at Delaware City (New Castle County) was 3.22 feet below mean lower low water. Low water problems start at 1.80 feet below mean lower low water.||The blowout tides were caused by an intense low pressure system that retrograded from the Nova Scotia coastal waters on the afternoon of the 2nd, across Nova Scotia on the evening of the 2nd, into the Gulf of Maine on the morning and afternoon of the 3rd before it started moving east again that evening.
